                     int k)

Finds the k best matches for each descriptor from a query set.

Parameters:

queryDescriptors - Query set of descriptors.

matches - Matches. Each matches[i] is k or less matches for the same query descriptor.

k - Count of best matches found per each query descriptor or less if a query descriptor has less than k possible matches in total.

match

public void match(Mat queryDescriptors,
                  Mat trainDescriptors,
                  MatOfDMatch matches)

Finds the best match for each descriptor from a query set.

In the first variant of this method, the train descriptors are passed as an input argument. In the second variant of the method, train descriptors collection that was set by DescriptorMatcher.add is used. Optional mask (or masks) can be passed to specify which query and training descriptors can be matched. Namely, queryDescriptors[i] can be matched with trainDescriptors[j] only if mask.at(i,j) is non-zero.

Parameters:

queryDescriptors - Query set of descriptors.

trainDescriptors - Train set of descriptors. This set is not added to the train descriptors collection stored in the class object.

matches - Matches. If a query descriptor is masked out in mask, no match is added for this descriptor. So, matches size may be smaller than the query descriptors count.

org.opencv.features2d.DescriptorMatcher.match

Parameters:

queryDescriptors - Query set of descriptors.

trainDescriptors - Train set of descriptors. This set is not added to the train descriptors collection stored in the class object.

matches - Matches. If a query descriptor is masked out in mask, no match is added for this descriptor. So, matches size may be smaller than the query descriptors count.

mask - Mask specifying permissible matches between an input query and train matrices of descriptors.

read

public void read(java.lang.String fileName)

train

public void train()

Trains a descriptor matcher

Trains a descriptor matcher (for example, the flann index). In all methods to match, the method train() is run every time before matching. Some descriptor matchers (for example, BruteForceMatcher) have an empty implementation of this method. Other matchers really train their inner structures (for example, FlannBasedMatcher trains flann.Index).
